I agree with all the suggestions for LQS or guild in your area. Maybe a community college as an adult ed class in your area. I learn something everytime I take a class. But for basics if you can get the first of Harriet's academy books it takes you through some simple but nice projects that will help you learn and perfect some basics. I find the book one of the best investments I have made and it has improved my techniques and understanding.
